§ 534. Appeal board. The appeal board is hereby continued. Such board
shall consist of five salaried members, not more than three of whom
shall be adherents of the same political party. One of the members of
the board shall be designated as chairman by the governor. The governor
shall appoint or reappoint members for terms of six years. Vacancies
shall be filled by appointment by the governor for the unexpired term. A
member of the board may be removed by the governor for cause, after a
hearing.

Any hearing, inquiry, or investigation required or authorized to be
conducted or made by the board may be conducted or made by any
individual member thereof, and the order, decision, or determination of
such member shall be deemed the order, decision, or determination of the
board from the date of filing thereof in the department, unless the
board on its own motion or on application duly made to it modify or
rescind such order, decision, or determination.

The board shall establish and maintain a current index, by topic, of
the principles of law established by the decisions rendered by the board
and the courts concerning matters arising under this article. Such index
shall cite all appropriate authority which supports such principles and,
where appropriate, all conflicting authority. Such index shall also
contain a glossary of technical and statutory terms commonly used by the
board in its decisions. Copies of such index shall be open for public
inspection and examination, and shall be made available at all locations
where unemployment insurance hearings, authorized or mandated by section
